Keeps bringing home 'presents' which I know is the norm........but she was
caught by the parents of the baby bird.....and was promptly pecked on the
head...now I know where these little scratches have come from?! is it worth
taking her to the vets to get her checked or just keep an eye on em?

TIA

If you're at all unsure, and it sounds like you are, take her for a
checkup. I know it might well be time (and money..!) wasted but if that
was more important to you than your pussycat's welfare, you wouldn't be
here :-)

Personally, I'd just keep an eye on them. But, if you're concerned, give
your vet a call and ask.

She appears well and her usually crazy self! the mad mutant returns with
more gifts! The 'wounds' seem fine, but as I've discovered in the past when
she decided to take on the local tomcat......cats can give nasty bites and
get infected and turn very nasty....but birds hmmmm! She is my furry baby
after all, so mummy will be watching :-)

Just a warning: Some birds go for the eyes. MLB

Does your cat where a collar? Over here, most cat collars have a bell on
them that serves as an early warning system to the birds. Just a
suggestion, if the cat isn't actually eating the birds, but just killing
them. She would still catch one every once in a while, but maybe not as
many. She would still enjoy the hunt.
